chimaobikanu:


Bless you brother, don't mind him nor waste your precious time on him. You see, that's one thing I despise in most Nigerian youths, they don't learn from anything. They as well, attack any advice that counters their opinion, instead of picking out one or two sense from it and apply it to their next move. Most of them don't even carry-out their research before visiting any country, they just join the bandwagon of where it's happening now. Some don't even know that it's illegal to drink alcohol here in any form and that's why it's not sold. Yet when they arrive, they indulge in the services of the street urchins who give them the impression that "nothing dey happen", even CID dey come here drink, and at the end of the day, they get arrested and town into jail! Like NONNYG said sometime, nobody is holding anyone back from coming to UAE, cause some people will always twist your advice to their own negative perspective! Yes, most of us are living good, and doing well. But can you pay the price?? You're still asking if 600k will be enough to cover ticket, visa, accommodation, and job placement (I see your failure already), yet you're talking about luck, prayer, and grace(who did this to our youths?). It's like waiting for a plane in a bus station. You have your God, they have theirs, they don't believe in yours same way you don't believe in theirs, so how do you expect your own God to overcome theirs and grant you their luck and grace? It's common sense. Be prepared, if you have 2-3million, you can move here, get you EID, get an apartment and start a life! Not decivng yourself of succeeding where others didn't cause you believe in God with 600k!!! Una don see us wey no Sabi God. Some will be chanting the only thing they know, "come back na". Mumu people, how can someone who has investment over here come back? Some that are even begging you not to come yet you're tell them to come back, can't even pay their overstay penalties cause it's amounting to millions already and you can never ever exit the country without paying, while some don't even have return ticket.... In fact jare I rest my case. Who no go, no go know.

Ijiimmayi:
I have tried so much to hold myself on not replying to anything here again but this time let me still type. NO ONE IS ASKING YOU NOT TO COME TO UAE. WE ARE ONLY ASKING YOU NOT TO COME IF YOU ARE NOT STRONG ENUF TO LIVE WITH WATEVER OUTCOME YOU SEE HERE. YOU ALL JUST WANT TO HEAR “PLEASE COME THEIR IS ENUF JOB HERE”. I KEEP PONDERING ON COMING HERE WITH ENUF MONEY COS I KNOW THE ROLE THAT PLAYED DURING MY TIME. ONCE YOU ENTER HERE JUS KNOW THAT NO ONE IA YOUR FRIEND. COS ANY NIGERIAN THAT SEES YOU IS ALREADY REASONING HOW TO GET HIS OWN SHARE FROM THE MONEY YOU CAME WITH. PLEASE AND PLEASE. DONT COME HERE WITH 600k. DONT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF UNSETTLED AND STRANDED NIGERIANS HERE. COME PREPARED. RENT YOUR BED SPACE. DO YOUR CV. SUBMIT ONLY AND ATTEND WALK IN INTERVIEWS. IF YOUR VISA KALLAS YOU GO FOR VISA CHANGE AND STIL PUSH ON WITH YOUR JB SEARCH. YOU WILL SURELY GET SOMETHING. IF YOU DONT HAVE MONEY TO RENEW VISA. YOU GO BACK TI NAIJA AND RESTRATEGIZE. MORE IMPORTANT ATLEAST HAVE A SKILL OR PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR CV YOU CAN DEFEND COMFIDENTLY. YOU ARE ALL WELCOME.

sydneyboss:


Like I said. U sound pained. U can always drop ur point without the insults,.that's a childish behavior, if you can't help with the essence of this thread pls you can stop replying.. You can NEVER tell the story of another man, stop discouraging people. .... Full stop

Magdagascariens:


His opinion doesn't have to be balance. He's entitled to what you term "negative opinion" This is a public forum Biko!

However, he needn't use abusive or offensive words to do that.

This group is "...VISA ENQUIRIES" It is not primarily for MOTIVATION, I guess. You don't ask questions just to get ONLY positive answers Sir.

sydneyboss:


I never expected a positive answer, it is not easy anywhere, but he should stop discouraging people that wants to come. I get your point

drkay:
It’s true that job is now relatively scarce, unlike before, even for other nationalities but it’s wrong to discourage people from coming to search for jobs in UAE. As someone rightly wrote, the thread was not meant to discourage people from coming here.
There are many reasons why most Nigerians are not getting jobs. Mostly, these days, it’s what we have to offer in terms of experience and expertise and how we position ourselves for the little opportunities that gets us the job. Nobody is interested in what you went through or how much you’ve spent to make yourself available in UAE.
We do help ourselves beyond what many are insinuating here but you can’t take over people’s life or force them to take some steps to better their chances just because you want to help them. The fact that most people that were assisted don’t give comments to appreciate our kind gesture on pages of nairaland or elsewhere for people to read doesn’t mean that Nigerians are not helping one another.
As per whether Nigerians are suffering here, fingers are not equal and you don’t expect things to automatically turn rosy for you once you move out of Nigeria.
Finally, I don’t think it’s necessary for us to litter the thread with how much we are enjoying life or suffering in uae but I can assure you that there are many Nigerians who are doing great financially and in their careers here in UAE and Alhamdulillah, I am one of them.

Stewart883:
I have been reading this thread for awhile and feel so sad how our youths go through so much pain and suffering to make a living! Our leaders are the cause of all this! There is something I can do to help, although it's metaphysical in nature(just 3 mins of ur time). When it's done there is no kind of job u won't get. It's a secret of mine and it has been working for me. The only problem I have with Nigerians is that they don't like helping one another!!

cutieme:

O boy take that guys word seriously before you make that mistake of coming here.
UAE is not worth it anymore.
I use to argue even more than the way u are doing until I enter here. .....

Chinonye02:


Oga come back home if UAE hard

NaDem34:
Please I want to verify something how much do they pay at UAE embassy for authentication of result? Someone is telling me 21k for my b.sc result and another 21k for stamping eligibility letter..a total of 42k...Am here in UAE that's why am kind of handicapped..

Chinonye02:


Oga come back home if UAE hard

Mizwisdom:


See how some people reason is terrible. Do you know if his mum sold her land to sponsor his trip? you want him to return with nothing so she will die of hypertension? your brain isn't there for fancy, put yourself in his shoes.

selfmadeOLX:
Everything here are only Job, Job & Job . Some people like myself are very industrious kind of people and are better off in the field than in front of a desk with am employer to report to.

How about running a business in Dubai. Let's say exportation of tech gadgets, clothing and jewelries, automobiles etc. And I mean freelance one man business that does not necessarily requires a physical office/structure

Isn't that possible over there?

glowingflame7:


Possible, but you need to plan on what visa? How much to export? Who will monitor? How much is gain? Etc.

selfmadeOLX:


Well we just need to think out of the box. Nigeria is a consumption ground and we live mostly based on imports.
If there are items over there that can be sold here, I think Dubai export business is feasible. I have read on some Dubai freelance VISA that gives a year residence permit for around 7500AED.

But anyways, I'm just trying to view Dubai from another angle.

More inputs from people who are there and have been there could help.
